Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Everyone finally understood when Tang Long got to this part of the explanation. To put it simply, at the beginning, when everyone’s physical basic attributes were not strong, their level was based on their level of martial arts practice. It was no wonder then that martial arts practice in the Galaxy Alliance was so highly regarded. It directly determined the combat effectiveness of people.

For example, a level one martial art skill could double a person’s basic attributes. That was equivalent to double the basic combat power, and with the skill moves, the combat power would be even higher…

It made sense then that the people Deca brought lost so miserably in the virtual universe—30% Magic Demon Skill could improve one’s strength by about 7.2 times. It would be really easy for someone to defeat his opponents with that…

Everyone turned to look at Hong Dali—Rascal, don’t leave after school, we’ll dig three meters deep for the skill manuals!

“Dali,” After the AI butler Tang Long finished speaking, he further explained. “In general, if a person can become a First Order Planet Warrior, that would make him a person of stature. Although it is still not comparable to being a Galaxy Aristocrat, common people in the Galaxy Alliance will not dare to aggravate you. When you are a Second Order Planet Warrior, you can be registered as part of the military and be considered a reserve member of the military. When you get to Third Order Planet Warrior, you can become a military officer. If you do not join the military, you can become a Security Bureau Chief in one of the small districts of the Galaxy Alliance and command staff who will take care of hundreds of millions of ordinary citizens.” These were not important, what was important was what came next. “If you acknowledge my master as your ancestor and become a Galaxy Aristocrat, it is possible to get Fifth Order Planet Warrior treatment. You can be the Security Bureau Chief of a large city in the Galaxy Alliance and manage the safety of billions of people. You will have immense power. Who would dare to disrespect you?!”

Everyone did not expect that there would be so many benefits to being a warrior and they were all stunned.

Managing the security of billions of people was equivalent to being the Police Chief to the entire Earth. This was a great honor!

However, Hong Dali shook his head. “No! I’m a prodigal, not a police chief. My mission is to squander!”

There was no way he was doing this. How would he find time to squander happily if he had to manage the security of billions?! If he couldn’t squander, he would not be able to complete his task. If he couldn’t complete his task, he would lose appearance attribute points! The consequences would be dire!

“How can I make you agree?” Tang Long cried. “Don’t you want the big inheritance my master left behind?!”

“I want it!” Hong Dali answered shamelessly, “Of course I want it. I would be a fool not to want it—anyway, I know that you, Uncle Tang Long, will definitely give it to me!”

“Why?!” Tang Long exclaimed. “You refuse to acknowledge my master as your ancestor. Why should I give you the inheritance?!”

Everyone else was curious too.

Refusing to acknowledge his master as an ancestor meant that he would have no reason to do anything to benefit you. You were lucky that he did not decide to kill you with one blast, and yet you thought he’d give you the inheritance?

“Ah? Isn’t it simple?” Hong Dali said with a grin. “Grandpa Invincible East must have made a few contingency plans when he died? I don’t believe that he did not consider other possibilities. For example, for some reason the person is unable to acknowledge him as his ancestor, unable to change his surname, or what if he is also a Galaxy Aristocrat? A Galaxy Aristocrat would not have reason to acknowledge another Galaxy Aristocrat as an ancestor, right? Anyway, there could be all kinds of possibilities—so, Uncle Tang Long, do you want to tell me about other conditions? Then, I’ll choose once that is acceptable?”

Everyone listened with their eyes wide and mouths agape.

Damn! How did you manage to think of such a thing? Who bargains with a computer like that?

“I admit defeat…” What happened after that stunned everyone even more—Tang Long face-palmed. “How did you even think of that… Well, there are other ways. I really don’t know what to make of you! Forget it, at least you’re kind of likable? Actually, if you don’t agree, I’ll activate the defense program and kill you all. But considering the fact that you were going to erect a cenotaph for my master, I will choose the peaceful solution…”

Everyone broke out in cold sweat. It seemed that Hong Dali was indeed blessed. His personality determined his fate. If he were not so kind and benevolent, everyone would have to die with him…

“Simply put, there’s a Plan B.” The AI butler Tang Long said slowly, “As a disciple, acknowledge my master as a predecessor. This method does not require you to change your name and surname. It is equivalent to acknowledging my master as your teacher. One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father. You should be able to agree to this?”

Everyone was silent.

Would Hong Dali agree this time?

“Oh, like that. Let me think about it, don’t rush me…” Everyone almost blew their top when they heard what Hong Dali said. He still had to think about it? It was just equivalent to having another elder who would care for you. There was no price to pay, why would you not accept such an arrangement?!

“If I agree, it will be equivalent to having one more elder. It will be about the same as my relationship with Grandpa Mysterious. Well, anyway, I already have one Grandpa Mysterious, another one should not be a problem…” Hong Dali muttered to himself, “So-so. Anyway, one can never have too many Grandpas. There should be no problem. Most importantly, I manage to keep my name…”

He muttered to himself for a long time before finally turning around. “That… Uncle Tang Long, there is no other clause in this condition, right?”

“No… no…” Tang Long was completely speechless. That was the legacy of Invincible East, a huge inheritance! This guy was so troublesome… but it was actually a good thing. It showed that the kid was taking it seriously. It would be bad if he just pretended to accept everything but secretly did not intend to follow through.

“Okay!” Hong Dali finally nodded, and everyone was finally relieved. “That’s settled then.”

“Very good, you made the right choice!” When Hong Dali agreed, Tang Long finally smiled with satisfaction. “Because of your choice, the planet you are on will obtain a huge advantage, your name will be known throughout the galaxy… hey, Hong Dali, what are you doing?!”

Originally, Tang Long wanted to talk to Hong Dali and instruct him on a simple matter. After that, he wanted to tell him about Invincible East’s legacy.

However, Hong Dali was making a phone call. “Dad, ah, nothing important, I just wanted to tell you something. Well, yes, I just acknowledged another grandpa, but this grandpa is older. He is so old that he is already lying in a coffin… Well, in fact, there’s nothing wrong with it, but I acknowledged him as a predecessor, which is something like a Teacher or Master. Considering that it’s something important, I have to tell you and Mum about it. Yes, what? You’re coming now? Okay, okay, I will ask Deca to pick you up. It will be good to come and offer some prayers to the elder. Yes, okay, Deca’s spaceship is really fast, it can travel at more than ten thousand kilometers per hour. Deal, no problem!”

Tang Muxin: “…” Li Nianwei: “…” Bureau Chief: “…” Tang Long: “…” Others: “…”

Hong Dali hung up and then looked at everyone: “Hey, why are you looking at me like that? I did not grow any flowers on my face…”

Bureau Chief: “Now, I know why this kid is so likable…”

Tang Muxin: “With Dali’s character, it’s no wonder he has such good luck. I’m no match for him.”

Li Nianwei: “This is why Young Master is so lovable. If he decides to be good to someone, he does it sincerely.”

Everyone else was also very moved. “With Young Master’s character, we are more than willing to lay down our lives for him!”

Deca: “I will go pick up Uncle and Auntie now!”

“Young Master!” Tang Long was so touched his snot was almost dripping out of his nose. He threw himself forward, grabbed onto Hong Dali’s legs and wailed. “In the future, you are my Young Master! I didn’t expect you to be so benevolent and honest! In the other world, Old Master would be so happy to know that he got a successor like you that he might just wake up laughing!”

“Eh? Uncle Tang Long, why are you doing that?” Hong Dali asked curiously, “Isn’t this what I should do… quickly, get up!”

“Yes, yes, Young Master is right!” Tang Long quickly stood up. This time his attitude changed. He snapped his fingers and a chair appeared immediately behind Hong Dali. Tang Long said, almost fawningly, “Young Master, have a seat and rest. I will introduce you to the legacy left by my Old Master.”

“Eh? There’s a chair to sit on? This is good, this is good!” Hong Dali laughed and sat down on the chair. Satisfied, he said, “This is the best part, so considerate!”

It seemed that in his eyes, this very comfortable chair was better than the legacy…

“Old Master left behind a huge legacy. The space storage is one of them.” Tang Long pointed to the crystal coffin. Suddenly, a drawer came out from the edge of the crystal coffin. There was a black watch inside. Tang Long said, “This space watch is a kind of space storage that is quite advanced. In the future, I can stay here and maintain contact with Young Master. This item can be considered an extravagance in the universe. It makes use of space separation technology to cut out a piece of isolated space which can be used to store a lot of valuables. Of course, the theory is simple, but the actual operation can be quite difficult. The size of this space storage is a hundred meters cubed, and it is quite valuable.”

Space watch! One hundred meters long, wide and high! Everyone sucked in a breath, what an impressive object!

“Oh…” Hong Dali took the Cosmic level watch and scrutinized it for a while. Then, he asked something which drove everyone crazy. “Can this thing chase away mosquitoes?” He was still thinking of the Jade Wood bracelet which could prevent mosquitoes…

“No… I don’t think so…” Tang Long was speechless. He had intended to surprise the kid…
